Vintage Art Deco China Cabinet Restore

This Art Deco waterfall china cabinet, circa 1940, had seen better days. Tucked away in a shop and used as a storage shelf, it was in rough shape. A family member, inspired by a photo featuring rich navy tones and warm wood, wanted to see it brought back to life. With that vision in mind, I gave the piece the repairs and makeover it deserved — blending classic navy with warm wood to honor both its history and a fresh new style.

Farmhouse Photo Serving Tray


From mass produced dark to one of a kind farmhouse white finish for this photo display serving tray.


Here is the before shot prior to the glass being removed and all pieces cleaned well.


Here are my farmhouse projects ready to do all in Dixie Belle Paint in drop cloth; a pretty warm white: An antique solid wood tray, a pretty basket and this photo tray along with this black tray that is being milk painted grey.


And here they are getting coat #1 of the drop cloth. I recently did a solid wood dining table in it too.


Two coats of drop cloth were painted on then sanded smooth and a bit of distressing to reveal the original dark wood. It was all sealed with Dixie Belle's easy peasy spray wax with additional detailing with a dark wax to give an aged appearance.
